There's One Word Missing From Jeb Bush's Tweet About the Oregon College Shooting

On Thursday, a mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, left 10 dead and seven people injured. The shooter has been "neutralized," according to police sources.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, politicians in Washington used Twitter to express their condolences over the tragedy. And at first blush, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush's statement reads like many others:

Praying for Umpqua Community College, the victims, and families impacted by this senseless tragedy.

At no point in his tweet, however, did the candidate mention the word "guns" — or even, for that matter, "shooting." Twitter immediately took the former Republican frontrunner to task for the omission, with some commenters going so far as to declare him and his party complicit in the tragedy.

@JebBush How about some gun control for this country

@JebBush and what are you going to do about gun violence? my guess is NOT A DAMN THING.

@JebBush Do you support gun control reform, or are you just talking?

@JebBush Blah blah blah. Praying is nice. Pushing for sensible gun control laws is more helpful.

@JebBush Stop praying and actually do something to prevent the next one.

@JebBush YOU AND YOUR PARTY ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS.

@JebBush take the NRA out instead of worrying about the IRS. People are dying
